Answer: a). Firm's growth rate = 10.5%

b). Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00

Explanation: Earnings growth rate is the percentage change in earnings given specific variables.

The firm's earnings growth rate g = Return on equity (ROE) × Retained earnings (b) = 0.15(0.70)

g =0.105 or 10.5%

In finding next year's earnings, we multiply the current earnings times one plus the growth rate.

Next year's earnings = Current earnings(1 + g)

Next year's earnings = 28,000,000(1 + 0.105)

Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00

Answer:

The firm's earnings growth rate is 10.5%

Firm next year's earnings is $30.94 million

Explanation:

The formula for earnings growth rate is given as returns on equity multiplied by retained earnings

return on equity is given as 15%

retained earnings =$28 million *70%

Retained earnings=$19.6 million

Earnings growth rate=70%*15%

Earnings growth rate =10.50%

Firm next year's earnings =this year earnings*(1+earnings growth rate)

Firm next year's earnings =$28m*(1+0.105)

                                            =$30.94 million

Retained earnings next year could be computed $30.94*70%=$21.66 million

Since the earnings next year is believed to increase to $30.94 million, it implies that even though the payout as dividends is not increasing in percentage terms but increasing in dollar terms

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

11.5%

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

= (0.50 × 5%) × ( 1 - 40%) +  (0.50 × 20%)

= 1.5% + 10%

= 11.5%

Basically we multiplied the weightage of capital structure with its cost so that the weighted average cost of capital could come

A​ person's website specializes in the sale of rare or unusual vegetable seeds. He sells packets of​ sweet-pepper seeds for ​$2.
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

7 packets of  sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

Explanation:

Let x packets of​ sweet-pepper seeds for ​$2.16 each and y packets of​ hot-pepper seeds for ​$4.24 each are mixed to obtain 16​-packet mixed pepper assortment for ​$3.33 per packet,

i.e. x + y = 16       ..........(1)

Also,

The price of sweet-pepper seeds + price of hot pepper seeds = price of the mixture

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33(x+y)

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33x+3.33y

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y - 3.33x-3.33y = 0

⇒ −1.17x +0.91y = 0  ........(2)

Equation (2) + 1.17 × equation (1)

0.91y + 1.17y = 18.72

2.08y = 18.72

⇒ y = 9

From equation (1),

x + 9 = 16 ⇒ x = 16 - 9 ⇒ x = 7

Hence, there are 7 packets of  sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

A taxpayer must receive voting common stock to be eligible for deferral in a Section 351 exchange. True False
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Section 351 (a) establishes that no gain or loss should be recognized when property is transferred to a corporation:

  • in exchange of stock in that corporation (might receive common stock or share class stocks)
  • as soon as the exchange is complete, the new stockholder must be in control of the corporation.

Not all common stocks have the same voting rights, that is why they are divided into share classes which assign separate voting rights or powers. Section 351 does not include preferred stocks.
